Boyer · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter D, solar energy produces small amount of waste and has a small negative impact on the environment. Solar Power Plants can only become a potential danger to the environment when they are built because of the habitat loss and water use that is associated with its construction. Other than that, the long-term environmental effect of solar power plants is very minimal because the waste that it produces depends on the type of technology that was incorporated when it was built.
